Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS SLV FY16
The U.S. Embassy in San Salvador, through its Public Affairs Section, announced an annual program statement inviting grant proposals to be submitted throughout the fiscal year that began on October 1, 2015. The opportunity is designed to fund projects implemented in El Salvador that advance a broad set of public diplomacy and development-related priorities. In practical terms, the Embassy is looking for programs that expand educational exchanges, strengthen English language teaching and learning, support rule of law efforts, improve the professionalism of the media sector, and promote freedom of expression. It also prioritizes initiatives aimed at reducing violence, empowering women and young people, and encouraging greater social inclusion and tolerance for underserved or marginalized communities, including LGBTI individuals, people with disabilities, and minority ethnic groups. In addition, the call encourages proposals that stimulate entrepreneurship, contribute to economic growth, and promote sustainable environmental practices.
The program emphasizes applicants that can demonstrate relevant experience and the capacity to carry out activities in-country. Competitive proposals are expected to show expertise in one or more areas tied closely to public affairs programming, such as people-to-people exchanges, cultural or academic initiatives, international cooperation, and institution-to-institution partnerships. This suggests the Embassy is interested in projects that build relationships, strengthen local institutions, and create lasting linkages between Salvadoran organizations and partners abroad, especially when those relationships lead to measurable improvements in education, civic life, media standards, inclusion, or economic opportunity.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that qualify to receive U.S. government grants and that are capable of developing and implementing projects in El Salvador. The Embassy will accept applications from non-governmental organizations and other legally recognized non-profit institutions operating in El Salvador, and it notes that governmental institutions may also be eligible as long as they fit the non-profit and legal criteria described. Commercial entities are explicitly ineligible, so for-profit companies would not be able to apply under this announcement.
There are several administrative compliance requirements that applicants must meet before submitting. Applicants must obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) prior to submission; the notice points applicants to the Dun and Bradstreet process and provides a contact email for help. Applicants must also register in the System for Award Management (SAM) at sam.gov, with the warning that SAM registration can take several weeks, meaning organizations should start early to avoid missing deadlines. The notice also states that applicant organizations must be committed to equal opportunity employment and to non-discrimination in serving beneficiaries, without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or political affiliation, aligning the program with standard U.S. government civil rights and fairness expectations. Finally, it flags that additional requirements may apply depending on the project or award conditions.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as a grant under an "Other" opportunity category and "Other" activity category, associated with CFDA number 19.040, and administered by the U.S. Mission to El Salvador. The funding opportunity number is DOS SLV FY16. The listed award ceiling is $30,000, indicating the Embassy expects proposals that are relatively targeted and achievable within that budget range. The original closing date is shown as August 15, 2016, though the announcement frames the solicitation as open to proposals throughout the fiscal year, meaning applicants were generally encouraged to submit during that period while still paying attention to any posted deadlines or internal review cycles.Apply for DOS SLV FY16
